2008 DirectResponseJobs.com Job Fair

“I'm looking forward to reviewing any spec submissions. I’ve had good luck with writers who’ve taken your Six-Figure Copywriting program. In the past, we brought on several copywriters and invariably all applicants worth looking at had taken your program. I took it myself years ago when I got into this business.”
– John Newtson, The Healthy Back Institute

Both writers and marketers agree, AWAI’s annual Bootcamp Job Fair should be on your list of “must do” activities for the year. Job Fair will be held Friday, November 14, 2008 from late afternoon to early evening at the Delray Beach Marriott Hotel. Learn more!

Make the Most of Your Job Fair Experience –
Learn from the Pros!

To make sure you can get the most out of your Job Fair experience, we’ve put together a special report for you. Don’t make the same mistakes that past participants have made. You’ll discover real-world tips from successful Job Fair participants, “Wall of Famers,” members of AWAI’s Circle of Success … and even a couple of the marketers themselves.

“Come prepared with questions that will help you understand the mind of the marketing directors who hire you. This is a great opportunity to ‘interview’ them in person and discover what their core buying emotion really is.”
– “Wall of Famer” Joshua Boswell

“Job Fair is great for getting samples of the vendor’s marketing and their business cards. While I know people can land jobs that night, there’s far less stress for a beginner if they approach the Job Fair as a research project, then more calmly approach these vendors at a later time.”
– Mike Klassen
